Ah, I see.  I do not believe that the open source ReportLab product has
any facilities at all for pulling data directly from a dbms back-end,
although it could be I've just missed it.  ReportLab is a fairly
low-level tool.  ReportLab's commercial products have a lot of bells and
whistles that I'm not familiar with.

In my experience, I usually want more control over my reports, anyway. 
I end up doing the query, manipulating the results row by row, and
feeding that into the Table.
